The sound of me dodging a bullet.

I'm split between 2 "critical" projects right now. The need for me in one of them will be winding down in about 6 weeks, which means that until then, it is my priority. Which means that the success or failure of the other one is not my issue, and I won't be expected to pick ANYTHING up until 2 weeks after it is already in "production". I'll spend the next 6 weeks merely reviewing and minor training, since I can't let the other one slip.

The manager in charge of the current project screamed loud enough to make sure he didn't lose me until then.

I gotta admit, it's an ego boost when the various execs fight over me.

As far at the other comments, thanks. All are appreciated.

Right now I'm doign a Veritas updgrade remotely. Never done it before. As I fiddle with OS disk drivers and reboot the box, ya think it'll actually come back up?
